Listen 7

(part 7 of 8 from the article The Benefits of Listening) 

How can listening be fun?

  • Pause the CD at the end of a song and have the student hum the song that comes next, or pause in the middle of a song and have them hum the next section.
  • Sing the melody with the music—hum, sing la-la-la, or use the syllables of your child’s name.
  • Try singing the LH or accompaniment part while your child sings melody.  Then switch parts (I bet they’ll be better than you are at it!)
